Tabletop Game Designer Registration

PlaytestNW was created specifically to help designers get their games in front of as many playtesters as possible. We'd love to have you join us at a demo event and the first step to making that happen is to register your game for our demo database.

PlaytestNW runs as many as 8 game playtest events every month at a variety of game stores, cafes, coffeehouses, and libraries in the greater Seattle/Bellevue area. Some are as small as two or three tables and a handful of playtesters, while others can have as many as fifteen demo tables and up to a hundred playtesters over the course of the event. Here are some of the venues we work with.

Benefits

Local Conventions

PlaytestNW presents playtesting events at five local conventions every year. As a paid member of PlaytestNW you will receive preferred table reservations for these events and a FREE badge for the entire convention so, when you're not playtesting your games, you can attend other convention events. The combined value of the badges for these events is well worth joining playtestNW alone!

March 1 - 4, 2018 Emerald City Comic Con, Seattle WA

August 24 - 26, 2018 Dragonflight, Bellevue WA

Aug 31 - Sept 3, 2018 PAX West, Seattle WA

October 27 - 28, 2018 Geek Girl Con, Seattle WA

We're able to host these events because conventions know that playtesting prototypes is a big draw for board gamers. Additionally, the buzz and activity of having tables full of engaged and enthusiastic gamers helps them secure a good experience at their convention.
